The MOSAIC Clinics are a series of online gatherings aimed at addressing challenges you're facing in co-creation and multi-stakeholder engagement aspects of the Mission work you're carrying out, through sharing of experiences and mutual learning. The next session will take place on Tuesday 24 January from 10:00 to 11:00 CET and will focus on ‘Running citizen engagement activities on topics with scientific and technical aspects’.

Following 'good practices' of co-creation should generate value and positive outcomes to all stakeholders gathered in your project regarding the topic addressed. But how to make sure that co-creation has been followed effectively and efficiently throughout the project? To help cities implement and align with the co-creation fundamental principles and evaluate their results, MOSAIC developed easy-to-use evaluation tools.

Mobilising co-creation to achieve a Mission goal is an excellent way for a City to contribute to both sustainability and social inclusion objectives. However, how do participants in co-creation processes know what their impact will be? How can actors who are responsible for delivering these impacts use a co-creation process so that they can stay on the impactful pathway towards their goals?

SHARED GREEN DEAL project is offering local authorities, regional authorities and not-for-profit organisations the opportunity to apply for a €22,000 grant to implement local actions focussing on the behavioural, social and cultural dimensions of the European Green Deal. Deadline for applications is 31 January 2023.

Engaging politicians in citizen engagement activities was the topic of the first MOSAIC Clinic, the new MOSAIC peer learning format targeting city representatives part of the MOSAIC Community of Practice. Securing political buy-in is crucial for creating an inclusive and effective governance framework. Politicians hold decision-making power and can shape policies and initiatives that directly impact citizens' lives. However, securing political buy-in often presents significant challenges.

The MOSAIC Clinics are bottom-up city-to-city discussions, targeting city representatives who are part of the MOSAIC Community of Practice. Each of these informal peer learning sessions will focus on a specific challenge and will aim to present experiences and potential scenarios from different cities.

On 9 November MOSAIC project held a workshop on 'how to fairly reward citizens in co-creation' engaging its Pilots and Replicators cities. Fondazione Bassetti, MOSAIC partner, presented and discussed with participants some highlights of its findings.
